2013

Hello everyone!

In typical fashion, I've come back to my blog as the year is coming to an end. I noticed that I actually didn't do that for the last two years! It's been almost three years since I last posted and a lot has happened.

Let's see... 2013 was a relative eventful year.

1. Neil Gaiman 

I got to meet Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors! I'm sure you haven't guessed that yet. I took my sister to one of his book signings for The Ocean at the End of the Lane. It was a really awesome day! He read a chapter of the book and answered some questions from the audience. If you've never heard him speak, then you should! His voice is basically liquid chocolate. Here's a link to him reading The Graveyard Book: http://www.mousecircus.com/videotour.aspx. It's similar to The Jungle Book but it takes place in a graveyard. My sister and I listened to The Graveyard Book together. It was her first Neil Gaiman book. So that book kind of has a special place in my heart. I did try to get a picture with him but my sister is not the best photographer. It was still a memorable day. I can't believe it was almost 3 years ago now.

I should probably write a post on The Ocean at the End of the Lane. It was a very good book! Maybe if I have time in the near future...

2. New LEGO Set 

I got the LEGO Lord of the Rings and Hobbit: An Unexpected Gathering set!

 Yes, LEGOs make the list of big life moments. Haha. That was a really fun set to put together. Also, it contains a LEGO figure of my favorite dwarf: Bofur! He was the best! I really love the actor who played him too! If you haven't checked out the show Jekyll, then you really should! That guy is a phenomenal actor!

Anyway, the set was fun to put together and I did a series of silly pictures of Bofur doing silly things. I'll have to make a blog post of his silly ramblings and post a link here later. They were pretty amusing.

3. Frozen

I think Frozen was released in 2013... yeah, it was. Man, I loved that movie! I know, I know, almost EVERYONE loved that movie, but having a sister myself, I could really relate to that movie. Besides, ask anyone, I'm basically Ana.

Haha. Super cute movie. I probably saw it a billion times.

I'll move onto 2014 in the next post. My sis is telling me that 2 and half years of updates should be spread across multiple posts.

Happy readings!
